#148: Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia

Cristina Scabbia, lead singer for Lacuna Coil, guests this week
to talk about the band's new album Delirium, their eighth
studio album over a 20-plus year career and the first to be totally
self-produced. Cristina talks about relationships between band
members, experiences with past producers and the pressures the band
has been under leading up the album's release. She talks about
where the lyrical themes on this album stem from, some metaphorical
and others from her personal relationship with mental
illness.  Chuck and Godless discuss a very common word
that we may or may not need to take out of our vocabulary
(especially as Chuck is 'blank' for Nails). We examine how the
botched launch of Prophets of Rage turned our internet feeds into a
frenzy of activity, but for the wrong reasons. Did Rage Against the
Machine control their message in the wrong way, or did
they simply underestimate the appetite for a reunion? Zach de
la Rocha may be having the last laugh, until he hears our idea for
the one dude on earth who would be more interesting and would draw
bigger crowds. Songs: Lacuna Coil – "The House of Shame" Nails –
"Savage Intolerance" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
